Tolson that Vartinff‘ooney had been in this morning and thet I had allowed him to dictate a memorandum indicating the various materials needed for his new book. ir. Looney stated that he probably wouldn't need the material for a month and that he was leaving for New York in order to enter the tombs tomorrow or the next day.

Cne is entitled "ThemBack Door,” and is claimed by hr. Mooney to be the most vicious attack on thefarole system that he has ever written. This story will preceed the book in the form of a movie. The other story is entitled“ ullets or Ballets,” and will star TaeHobinson. I advised lir. Tolson that ir. Mooney had stated that it was agreed with Hearst that Mooney should come hack here iX Sey eae
